2001 Dodge Dakota Club Cab 2dr Club Cab 2WD (2.5L 4cyl 5M)

Review

Truck has only 52000 miles on it. Has electrical problems and the tranny slips and jerks like there is no tomorrow. With mileage this low I should have no problems, I take very good care of my vehicles. I was extremely disappointed. I traded it in yesterday!

I bought this truck in 2002 and it had 11,200 miles on it. I've owned a lot of trucks both foriegn and domestic, and this is a great truck. Other than normal wear and tear there have been no problems. I replaced rotors, brake pads and changed transmission fluid and filter at 58,000 miles.

I bought this 2001 Dakota used in
January 2004. It has been back to the
dealer, four times in the past 8 months
for electrical problems. They replace
the PCM, CTM, fuel pump and several
other electrical items. I looked on
the internet to see if anyone has had
these same problems and found hundreds
of people experienced the exact same
problems with their Dakotas. You would
think Dodge would replace these items
for free because some many people have
had problems but they haven't. These
electrical problems are serious and it
has been very expensive. I will be
getting rid of this truck soon.

I've owned my Dakota 4.7L V8 for 2 1/2
years. The V8 gives me the ability to
merge quickly with fast acceleration
It's awesome. Still, I can get over 20
miles per gallon at 70 mph. In town
though it is a little heavy on gas. The
ride is very comfortable. The only
complaint I've had is a slow action on
one power window. It works, but is slow
in one spot. I intend to get it worked
on before the warranty is up. I would
say reliability and quality overall has
been excellent.

Unfortunately, after 36,500 miles, it
has been in the shop several times.
Rack and pinion system replaced already
& is now in for transmission
work. "Check engine" light has sent it
to the shop
four times in less than a year. First
two times were vacumn problem, the
third time they couldn't find anything
(still under warranty By about 400
miles) and now, 500 miles after the
warranty expired, they found a
transmission problem that is going to
cost me $550. To be fair to the
selling dealership, it is about 20
miles away in Cornelius, NC and is not
the dealership screwing around with
me. The culprit is Keffer Dodge here
in Charlotte.

I have had my Dakota Since October 00.
32,000 miles later, I have had no
problems. It's Comfortable, and looks
and drives great.
However, living in a colder climate, my
only regret is not getting the 4x4.

Solid Truck but needs some minor
adjustments. Put on Edlebrock IAS
Shocks with Power Slot rotors. Truck
drives like a car, now. Add a
restriction free exhaust (Gibson) with
a AirRaid Air Filter system and the 4.7
liter motor comes alive.
